I won't argue that the US had no intention of going to war with the USSR, only that the USSR didn't stand a chance if the will had been there. The numbers provided show that the Sovs would have collapsed quickly once the tap was turned off. Imagine what happens when the US and British fleet show up in the Black Sea... As an engineer you might enjoy this: pub82.ezboard.com Lend Lease, the List... geocities.com I believe this merely lists US contributions and not either the Brits or Canadians. Interesting comments on the bottom; it is two columns by the way, so you will have to scroll left or right to see it all.

Hi Pearly_Button; On the subject of Soviet fighter production. They got 5000 Airacobras during WW2, but they made considerably more Yak-9s: Yak-9, Soviet Union The definitive development of the Yak-1 series. The Yak-9 was a development of the Yak-7 with metal wing spars. The Yak-9 was built in long-range fighter, ground attack and trainer versions. From mid-1944 onwards the Yak-9 was the numerically most important Soviet fighter. 14,579 were built during World War II. Production continued until 1948 and totaled 16,769. aviation-central.com There were other aircraft that would add to the totals. -- Carl
